Tristan Thompson isn't moving on from Khloe Kardashian just yet, because he's NOT dating the hot chick he's been hanging with in NYC, but they are getting to know each other through a mutual friend ... one of his NBA teammates.

We've learned Tristan's new friend is Karizma Ramirez ... and sources close to her tell us they met last week through Jordan Clarkson.

As you know, Tristan and Karizma were photographed inside Nobu in NYC Tuesday night ... after being spotted together last week at another dinner in the Big Apple. That sparked dating rumors, obvi, since it came directly on the heels of Khloe kicking Tristan to the curb.

But, the sources close to her say Karizma and TT are insisting there's nothing romantic going on between them.

We're told they've only hung out at the 2 dinners, which were both group situations -- where Tristan was flying solo, and Karizma was Jordan's guest.

We got Tristan out in New York last week, but he was silent on Khloe and his cheating scandal with Jordyn Woods.

As for Karizma, we're told she's NOT dating Jordan either, they've known each other forever through his family. BTW, she used to kick it with Chris Brown, but nothing serious.

Queen Elizabeth's first ever post on Instagram is blowing up which is totally impressive ... considering it's just a boring old, OLD letter.

QE2 didn't even remember to add #latergram or #throwbackthursday when she hit the share button. Naturally, there was plenty of royal fanfare for the moment ... they had an actual ceremony for it at London's Science Museum, and she got cheers and applause when a right proper English dude announced, "It's worked perfect."

As for what the Queen posted to The Royal Family's account ... it's an 1843 letter written by computer pioneer and mathematician Charles Babbage to Queen Victoria's husband, Prince Albert.

The Queen wrote in her caption ... "In the letter, Babbage told Queen Victoria and Prince Albert about his invention the 'Analytical Engine' upon which the first computer programmes were created by Ada Lovelace, a daughter of Lord Byron."

(*EYEROLL*) Can't wait to see her #MCM.

Jack Osbourne is officially a single man again -- a judge just greenlit his divorce from Lisa Stelly.

According to court docs, obtained by TMZ, Jack and Lisa's divorce case is now closed ... the judge signed off Tuesday on their agreement. It's been nearly a year since Lisa initially filed for divorce from Jack -- and there's been a lot that's happened between them since then.

Jack allegedly punched Lisa's new boyfriend, Michael Gabel, when he tried intervening in an argument Jack and Lisa were having a few months after she took their split to court. A battery report was taken, but Michael refused to press charges against Jack.

Sources familiar with the situation told us at the time that Jack thought he and Lisa were on track to repair their relationship, and the new BF showing up threw him. Jack was spotted back at the house a few days after the attack and he left without incident that time.

Based on what we've seen from Lisa and Jack in the recent past, things should be just fine now as they continue to co-parent. They have 3 young kids together.

We broke the story ... Jack and Lisa settled their divorce back in the summer, with Jack agreeing to pay her a sizable cash payout and significant child support. They're going to share joint custody of the kids.

3/8 6:30 AM PT -- A judge set Alvarado's bail at $30,000 cash or $75,000 bond.

A guy who's clearly Taylor Swift-obsessed is in custody after going full cat burglar, allegedly ... he was busted after climbing onto her roof and kicking in a door, and it's not his first time on the premises.

Law enforcement tells TMZ ... Roger Alvarado managed to get on the roof of Taylor's Tribeca pad early Thursday morning -- around 2 AM -- but once he busted down a door to gain entry her alarm system sounded. We're told Taylor's security team reacted immediately, calling cops to the scene.

Alvarado was arrested on the scene, which has gotta feel like deja vu for him. NYPD nabbed him last April at this same residence. You might recall, this is the guy who actually took a shower in Taylor's pad before he was busted last year.

In December, he pled guilty to attempted burglary and criminal contempt. He was sentenced to 6 months in jail -- and was credited with time served since he'd been behind bars since the original April arrest -- and 5 years probation.

Taylor was not home at the time, and Alvarado is still in custody.

Floyd Mayweather says his fans "shouldn't worry" about guys like Conor McGregor and Canelo Alvarez angling for a rematch ... telling TMZ Sports he's already proved he can beat ANYONE.

"Nobody can beat me! Y'all already know that," the boxing legend told us Wednesday night on his way out of TAO in Los Angeles.

"Everybody wants a rematch with me."

He's right ... earlier this week, Conor was breaking down his 2017 fight with Floyd and suggested the two will run it back in the near future saying, "A rematch will be interesting no doubt."

So, we asked Floyd how he felt about Conor's prediction -- and it wasn't exactly met with the same enthusiasm.

"Don't worry about that," Floyd told us ... while directing us to point the camera on his $18 MILLION diamond watch.

So, we switched the topic to Oscar De La Hoya -- who says a rematch with Canelo would be a $1.5 BILLION fight ... and again, Floyd didn't really seem to be interested.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah ... everybody's saying something. I don't worry about that. I already made over a billion! You already know that!"

He added, "I'm not worried about all that my man. Floyd is undefeated. Nobody can beat me. You already know that, man!"

Of course, Canelo and Floyd initially fought in 2013 -- with Floyd dominating the then-23-year-old rising star. Floyd got a $41 million guarantee for that fight, which was a record payday at the time.

Both Oscar and Canelo are now making a renewed push for a rematch ... for obvious reasons.

As for Floyd's $18 MILLION timepiece, he calls it "the one and only" ... and he bought it in 2018.

Want details? It was made by Jacob & Co. back in 2015, it features 239 emerald-cut baguette diamond stones, each weighing up to 3 carats.

Good times!

Big Boi is following suit with Travis Scott and Maroon 5 by partnering up with the NFL to donate a bundle of cash, but he's keeping his charitable efforts close to home.

The Outkast rapper -- who performed with Adam Levine and co. during the Super Bowl LIII halftime show -- will announce Thursday a joint donation of $100k from himself and the NFL. We're told the money will be going to the Martin Luther King Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change in Big Boi's hometown of Atlanta.

Sources familiar with the deal tell TMZ ... the joint donation is similar to the ones the league made with the other halftime performers in Atlanta. Maroon 5's went to Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, and Travis' went to Van Jones' Dream Corps.

Their donations were announced before the big game, but we're told Big Boi always intended to make one too. He just took longer to announce it because he needed time to decide where the money would be put to the best use -- and The King Center won out.

What Michael Jackson couldn't get from Joe Jackson, he got from one of his bodyguards instead ... according to a letter written by the King of Pop.

Michael's handwritten note, from around 1992, was addressed to his personal security guard, Bill Bray ... and filled with references to his traumatic childhood. For instance, he wrote ... "Joseph never ever had time for me, he only saw me as a way for him to make money."

The point Jackson wanted to make was that Bill had been the father figure he never had.

RR Auction is putting the letter up on the block Thursday, and we're told it's expected to fetch more than $18,000!!!

It'll be interesting to see if the letter's value is affected by the renewed controversy generated by the "Leaving Neverland" documentary.

In the letter, Michael tells Bill he loves him and admits, "I don't know what would have happened to me if you were not around." He straight-up thanks his bodyguard for "being a father" to him.

According to RR, Bill started working security for the Jackson 5 in the 1970s ... and kept working with Michael -- as a bodyguard and close confidant -- until retiring in the mid-1990s.

Jason Momoa is the king of the seas, but he's not yet mastered the skies ... because his private jet made an emergency landing after nearly catching fire!!!

The "Aquaman" star survived the scare of a lifetime Wednesday morning ... we're told Jason's private plane safely landed in Palm Springs after the aircraft reported an engine fire.

The Palm Springs Fire Department says the engine fire turned out to be a false alarm ... and a firefighter snapped a pic with Jason on the tarmac.

Jason's reps say he was flying from Los Angeles to Phoenix for a business meeting, and about halfway through the flight, the plane started malfunctioning ... leading to an emergency landing.

In a truly baller move, Jason and his crew got another private jet to take them to their destination.

Alex Trebek has just been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer, but not only will he finish out this season of "Jeopardy!" -- he has no plans to retire ... TMZ has learned.

Sources connected to Trebek tell us, the TV icon was just informed of the diagnosis. He recorded a video message announcing his diagnosis.

We're told Alex's will finish out the current season of "Jeopardy!." In fact, he says he's vowing to keep working and he's bravely upbeat. In the video, he says he plans to beat cancer.

Sources connected to the legendary host tell us he will immediately begin chemo.

Alex even managed to add some humor in his message, pointing out his contract calls for him to host for 3 more years -- and that's exactly what he intends to do.

Former 'Jeopardy' champ Austin Rogers tells us he's confident "Mr. Trebek" will have tremendous support from his family, and adds ... his incredibly positive attitude will go a long way as he battles cancer.

Alex has been at the helm of the show since 1984 and it has been immensely successful ever since ... dominating the evening game show biz along with "Wheel of Fortune." Alex has always said he is not the star of the show ... he says it's all about the game and the contestants.

Trebek, who's from Ontario, Canada, got his start in 1961 announcing the news and other events on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. He quickly rose to prominence by hosting a live music show and eventually a high school quiz show, called "Reach for the Top."

Alex moved to the U.S. in 1973 and became the host of a new NBC show called "The Wizard of Odds" ... then worked on a variety of game shows until the early '80s before landing the "Jeopardy!" gig, which was actually a revival of an old show. It was a hit, and he's been doing it ever since ... often with his classic mustache. When he shaved his mustache off in the early 2000s, it made headlines.

Last year, 78-year-old Alex spoke to Harvey Levin for an episode of "Objectified" and said he was seriously considering retiring, but he later signed a contract extension to secure his gig through the 2021-2022 season.

He does have a couple potential replacements in mind, though ... and he's pretty clear about it.

Alex took a brief medical leave in 2018 to have surgery for blood clots on his brain after taking a nasty fall -- but 'Jeopardy!' never aired any episodes with a guest host. Alex also suffered mild heart attacks in 2007 and 2012.

Kim Kardashian is spotted in France. Actually, she's spotted ALL over, 'cause ... fashion, baby!!!

Kim is all about rocking her leopard print outfits in Paris this week while she's there for Fashion Week. She was seen leaving her hotel Wednesday in a sheer, skintight leopard bodysuit and what looks like a velvet or suede trench coat ... with matching bottoms.

Looks very comfy. Revealing too, if not for that coat.

Kim also rocked the feline theme head-to-toe on Tuesday ... equipped with matching gloves and boots. It's a flashy look for sure, but one thing she's not flaunting is expensive jewelry.

Remember, Kim was gagged and bound by masked burglars in her Paris apartment in October 2016, who zip-tied her hands with plastic handcuffs and made off with more than $10 mil worth of her bling.

She vowed to tone it down with the jewelry ever since, and ya gotta think that's top of mind when she's in Paris.

Joycelyn Savage will finally be reunited with her family, and R. Kelly's team is actually making it happen.

The Savages' family attorney, Gerald Griggs, tells TMZ ... a new member of R. Kelly's team, who the family had not spoken to previously, agreed to arrange for Joycelyn to meet with her family members face-to-face sometime early next week.

Griggs says the agreement is tentative for now, because they haven't locked down a specific date, time or location ... but we're told they're looking at Monday or Tuesday. Griggs also tells us the Savages made it clear they wanted to meet in a neutral city outside of Chicago.

If the meeting does take place -- and the Savages believe it will -- we're told they plan to bring a psychologist along to evaluate Joycelyn.

Joycelyn's parents and siblings had a conference call with her Wednesday, just hours before R. Kelly was arrested for failing to pay back child support. A lot of people are saying Joycelyn sounded like she was reading from a script during the conversation. However, she maintains that she's fine, happy and exactly where she wants to be.

The potential meetup is HUGE news, considering the Savages have been trying to move mountains to get some face time with their daughter after years without direct contact.

Joycelyn is alleged to be one of R. Kelly's "sex slaves," and we're told the change of heart might have something to do with the fact that R. Kelly's legal sitch isn't looking good.

"Shahs of Sunset" star Shervin Roohparvar is suing a woman he claims is trying to extort him for hundreds of thousands of dollars after alleging he tried to slip her a date rape drug.

According to new legal docs -- obtained by TMZ -- Shervin says he met up with the woman in Vegas last December after the two connected on social media.

Shervin claims they met at his hotel, had a drink and chatted before he told her he had to get ready for a business engagement. He claims the woman, without warning, started shouting obscenities -- accusing him of slipping her a drug -- and bolted from the room.

The lawsuit alleges the woman also told cops he'd drugged her, but cops took no action against him. About a month after the confrontation, Shervin says he got a letter from her agent threatening to rat him out to production companies about the incidents unless he forked over $350k.

7:27 PM PT -- It's turning out to be a long day for Kelly. Chief James Craig of the Detroit PD just confirmed to TMZ that roughly a month ago they got information from Chicago PD about an alleged victim, "who made allegations of a criminal sexual conduct incident against R. Kelly."

He states the incident potentially occurred in Detroit back in 2001 -- when the alleged victim was 13. They are currently working on following up with her and her attorney.

2:19 PM PT -- R. Kelly has just been led away in handcuffs.

2:03 PM PT -- The Cook County Sheriff's Office tells TMZ ... R. Kelly's headed to jail for failure to pay child support. He'll need to cough up the full amount of dough to be released.

1:35 PM PT -- Deputies just escorted R. Kelly out of the courtroom, and he's been arrested. No official word from court, but it would appear he didn't cough up the $161k.

11:52 AM PT -- R. Kelly just showed up to court in a black sprinter van accompanied by his legal team. We're told the child support hearing is set to begin any minute now.

R. Kelly's dangerously close to heading right back to Cook County jail for failing to pay more than $160k in child support.

Sources connected to the embattled singer tell us Kelly hasn't covered the $161,633 he owes to his ex-wife, Drea Kelly, and his deadline is today ... Wednesday at 10 AM Central Time. If Kelly doesn't settle up with the court by then, he can be hauled off to jail.

Ironically, Kelly ranted and sobbed to CBS about wanting a relationship with his kids. That interview was taped Tuesday, and we're told he had not paid at that point.

TMZ broke the story ... Kelly actually owes Drea nearly $200k, all told, and he's known since last month he had to pay the minimum amount of $161k by March 6.

Additionally, the D.A. could charge him criminally for failure to pay the support. Any amount over $20k is a felony.

We've reached out to Kelly's attorney, but no word back.

Seems things are ALL GOOD between Tom Brady and Aston Martin -- with the QB praising the hell out of the insane new whip they just debuted ... without one single mention of Rolls-Royce!

Remember, TB12 was spotted behind the wheel of a RR just a few days ago -- despite the fact he's got a big endorsement deal with rival luxury car brand Aston Martin. Oops.

But, it seems Tom's over Rolls ... and back on his Aston kick -- especially after seeing the new concept car the brand just rolled out at the Geneva Motor Show in Switzerland.

"Team @AstonMartinLagonda stole the show in Geneva," Brady wrote ... "I’m gonna need a bigger garage..."

We're pretty sure this was an olive branch ... but it's clear it was an easy one for Brady to throw out.

The concept car -- dubbed the AM-RB 003 -- is insane ... reportedly it's a carbon fiber beast BUILT for speed.

We know what you're thinkin' ... but you can't have one -- they're reportedly being produced in VERY limited quantity -- and almost certainly reserved for ultra-rich and famous people ... like Tom Brady.
